How To Treat Severe Knee And Shin Injury?

I fell on my knee and the outer side of it. I was on a crowded train and was unable to look under my pant leg, but right after it felt like I had blood running down my shin. Got to work and my knee is swollen, red/ but not bleeding at all - what would be the cause of felling like blood is running down my leg ????
